Sunday

When life hands you a problem that just won’t go away…. What do you do? Do you simply accept the solution presented to you… or do you look at your options and change directions.

Yesterday I did something that I have been wanting to do since I moved to this area, over 20 years ago. I went to a barber shop. Exciting eh! I have been driving past this place over the years and wondered, how it existed, I live in a big city …. this little shop.. sits by itself on a busy city street… with two big commercial shops on either side.. not directly beside it.. it is on its own little lot.

It was once a house, converted to a little barber shop in the front of the building and upstairs (back entrance) is a Tattoo shop. I am eccentric, past my gentle years, and set in my ways… I would drive by and see a truck or big SUV parked in front, never a lot of cars.. maybe two .. the odd time three. … always there was plenty of parking and the cheerful barber sign winking from the window.

Yesterday, I simply drove in, parked and walked in. I have been having busy days one after another. Its been on problem to solve after another. Not big overwhelming stuff… just …. “stuff”

I wanted my head shampooed … and hair cut. nothing more.. (I usually cut my own, so this was going to be a treat)….. I walked in, was greeted right away, and asked to sit.. I looked around for a wash basin .. didn’t see one, he directed me right to a chair.

Ah.. I thought.. sigh.. no shampoo…. but I was there.. so I sat. You know what. I was there. I said I wanted my hair clipped and I pointed to the other man in a chair being groomed, like that.. the older barber, looked over, and said to the younger man.. use…and he gave him numbers.. (clipper sizes I guessed). I closed my eyes and just let it happen.

Within minutes I could feel my whole body start to relax.. the buzzing of the razor, expert hands gently moving over and around my head….was soothing.. I actually heard my body sigh. not just a little sigh. .. a dramatic… sigh.. my shoulders eased, and I relaxed even more. He kept working, I heard a little voice say.. “hair grows back’… BUT.. YOU KNOW WHAT…..at that moment.. I let it happen, I was actually relaxing.

Don’t be afraid to try something new.

I didn’t get my hair washed, but I had a wonderful relaxing experience… Sometimes what we think we want and what we need is different.. I learn something new every day.. =^_^=

Have a good day everyone.

Sunday

Reach out and talk to a friend today that you have had on your mind, but haven’t caught up with in awhile

Every day is a new beginning. Once today is gone, it will never happen again.

I received a text this morning, in seconds my world was changed. That is how quickly “life happens”.. Don’t squander your day.. Enjoy who you are in this moment, Appreciate and have gratitude… now is slipping away, I close my eyes and say a simple “thank you” for sharing this moment with me.

Dreams

“Summer is over ” I heard the grumble .. I wasn’t trying to hear, but the other visitors nearby were unhappy at the prospect of a summer shower.

True the forecast was for off and on “sun showers” till later in the day, with the threat of a thunderstorm during the supper hour. But with the weather .. there are no guarantees.

Yet the group of sun “bathers” were so wrapped up in what MAY be going to happen, they were not appreciating the warm sun drenched moment… NOW.

There was a sprinkle of drops, maybe for all of 3 minutes.. and it was over… People quickly packed up and moved on… I stayed .. enjoying an afternoon of refreshing moments with a sun that was warm and welcoming.

Summer is wrapping up, but there are a zillion astonishing moments ahead. Fall Baby! is just around the corner!!!!

Wednesday

There are days when we feel lost and alone

Days when you wander from chore to chore,

wondering if there is anything anywhere that will lighten the load

There MUST be more…..

That is when you realize you are not alone…..

Can you see???

In PL. PL Precept #15 All is a mirror

The best timing to take action is when you notice it. When you take note of something, it is a signal from God that you should take care of it right away.

Have a good day everyone.

Today

Today and everyday – Believe in yourSelf.

When you look in a mirror.. take a good look at the “person” looking back at you. A few times now I’ve not really recognized the woman who gives me a startled look, when I glance her in passing by the bathroom mirror that I can’t ignore.

From a closet size bathroom (in my previous home) to the ballroom size one I have now… it has been an adjustment. I think that in the past, I seldom if ever really looked at or in a mirror unless I wanted to check something…ie. my hair before leaving the house…. even then, it has not been a priority.

My sister and I have had belly laugh chuckles.. because we’ve ( I won’t say which of us) has arrived at a choir practice to have a choir mate quietly give us a whisper… )

Yesterday I woke to a sound of continuous knocking on my door, I was horrified to find out that it was after nine, I am usually up and out of the door by 7:00-7:30 ………. do you know what I did? Something I’ve never done ..ever. I answered the door and promptly went back to bed. AND … I gave myself permission to stay in and not go out at all .. all day!!!! in fact, except to get up to eat and check my messages.. I spent most of the day.. “in bed”. Dearest friends .. that was a first…. not because I didn’t feel well, or ached anywhere, no.. I simply wanted to sleep.. so I did. Wow.. is this a sign of “maturity”…

Can it be true.. I actually had a day of doing “nothing” except what I felt like doing…….Wow.. double wowzoooooh earth shattering isn’t it.
